Yes my son is six as well I read an article on here I believe about potty training at night I found super helpful it said that you should not pressure or make the child feel like they are bad It mentioned it is normal for children especially little boys to have trouble with bladder control into 10 because they may sleep heavy or the muscle is not strong enough yet I noticed since I have not pressured my son he has been remembering to potty on his own before bed and has even started to wake up more mornings dry than wet He has definitely been more confident too!

My daughter also wore pull ups at 6 and 7 years old. She ended up being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. She was going to the bathroom all the time and constantly thirsty. Her sugar was so high that she couldn't wake herself through the night. Shortly after diagnoses, and having insulin, she didn't need the pull ups anymore. Doesn't mean your little guy has it, but he on the lookout for those symptoms. My Cara got very ill before we figured out and had diabetes and war in a diabetic China for about 56 hours. She's great now though at almost 10 years old.

On another note, some children may need a little more time to get waking up to pee... Either way, he will get it down. There is a reason they make such big pull ups. This is why! :) have a blessed day!

I don't have any suggestions, but we are dealing with the same thing. My daughter turned 7 in February and every night wets a full pull up. She's had sporadic days that she's dry but nothing consistent. She did go almost a whole year, when she was in Pre-K, being dry EVERY night. Then she started Kindergarten and we haven't really been dry since. Since she was dry for almost a year, I'm thinking it's not that her body isn't ready. I think she's just a very deep sleeper and doesn't wake up for it. We may try this summer to just switch to underware and see what happens.
